Just believe whatever you want. You believe Project Veritas, cool.
First, Project Veritas only bought the diary. They never actually published it nor did they share an opinion on it that I'm aware of, so I'm not sure what you think I'm believing them on?
Second, if you think your preferred news source is giving you 100% truth, I've got a bridge to sell you.
And I'm not saying there's a vast conspiracy, although I can assure you there are some of those because I've been not only witnessed them, but I've been a part of at least one. However, people's personal biases showing up in reporting and the inability to report facts for fear of losing access are real things. That last part is about news organizations squashing damning stories as a "favor" to whomever is in power. Not doing that "favor" could mean losing all access to that person/administration/etc. (Look at the last several administrations and their WH briefings to see how that works.) I worked in the MSM, I saw all of this shit first hand.
I tend to agree with you in believing the person who was there. However, Ashley's statement gives me pause for three reasons:
1. It's too vague a statement. It does not address the biggest takeaway, and that's kind of a big deal. It's, literally, the only reason anyone gives a shit about her diary, yet there's no direct denial?
2. It came far, far too late in the cycle. PR 101 says you get in front of a story. Playing the diary off as a fake until you had to testify it was real in court was an interesting choice.
3. Hunter apparently also has certain sexual tastes. I point this out for two reasons: 1. Maybe he was molested? 2. Maybe Hunter is the molester?
#3 is the "out" for Joe, because even if Ashley's vague statement is 100% true, something still fucking happened that she's addressing. This issue is a particularly big trigger for me. Guess why.
Anyway, say Joe wasn't the molester, that makes him simply a racist and corrupt asshole who got American servicemen killed via his incompetence and failed to do the most basic task of his job, which is protect the border. I'm not remembering him fondly.

Pictures with Epstein
Sadly, doesn't mean shit. History is filled with innocent people appearing in pictures with rapists, child molesters, serial killers, etc. I wish it was that easy so we could
kill them lock them all up, but have you looked at those websites with sex offenders in your neighborhood? They're like chicken pox. The odds are highly likely that you know somebody who you would eject from your life if you knew what they got up to in their private time. Doesn't mean you're guilty of the same.

statement by accused persons claiming he raped her,
If you're a D, they have no credibility. I don't see Tara Reade's name on that list either?
The number of them who talk about the hair sniffing and the compilation videos of Biden sniffing girls' hair as VP and president is rather disturbing, but to be fair, not a smoking gun.
Although, there IS smoke...

Otherwise you are just fitting to a narrative.
Let's be honest here, both sides push their narratives and everyone falls prey to them at one time or another. I could list several Trump related scandals or Biden related scandals. As you noted about the front page, Obama had his own scandals, ditto for W and the Clintons. Good things will come no matter who wins, as will bad things. Neither party gives two shits about you, just your vote. They lock that vote up with bribes, empty promises and excuses for their scandals. ("No really, this time we'll actually codify Row vs Wade. We've only not done that the prior 50 years because, uh, Rs..." - My far left wife's current favorite talking point about why she won't vote for a D president. She's also not voting Trump.) Meanwhile, they push really hard on the other side's scandals. They ALL suck.
On that note, I am off for the day so you can continue telling me that I'm "literally Hitler" tomorrow
. I've really got to get this Crowdstrike report done and I've been pulled away to multiple other things all day, and responded to you, which is more interesting to me than writing a report for a board that won't listen anyway.
